The suggested translation of 'to go red on the face' sounds odd. In English, we would say 'to go red in the face' or, more colloquially, 'to get red-faced'
Why is it "*por* dónde estaremos" instead of "dónde estaremos" in the sample question?
El director del colegio, el cual trabaja duro, es respetado por todos.
El director del colegio, quien trabaja duro, es respetado por todos.
(mas informal) El director del colegio, que trabaja duro, es respetado por todos.
¿Todos son correctos?
I used comenzar for start but it was corrected to empezar. What is the difference in the usage of the two verbs?
I’m confused, is there another way to determine when to use a direct or indirect pronoun? Eg, how do you apply “for whom, to whom” in this sentence:
Me explicó su porqué pero no le creí. She explained her reason but I didn't believe her.
Muchas gracias,Shirley.
Hello, I also fell into the trap of "puedes ver publicidad" but it was not shown as being an acceptable answer, 10 months after the last reply here.
While experimenting with nunca in negative sentences for a while, my instinct kept telling me to include the definite article in one particular construction, where it would not be required in any of the others.
ie. Never eat sweets before dinner (imperative)
= No comas nunca LOS dulces antes de la cena
Could you clarify for me 1) if the article is actually required here at all, or 2) if it could be used correctly as an option.
I understand that pronouns can be left out and the subject is determined by the context of the sentence. I am not very familiar with Castillian, so can "vosotros" be left out in the above sentence and still be grammatically correct?
Hi Inma,
that's interesting. I will check when my grammar books were printed.Thanks for your prompt reply
